Improved with the benefit of a much-needed comeback outing to finish an eye-catching 5th in a 2400m handicap at Saint-Cloud on 5 April. Will be a factor

Lightly raced five-year-old who seldom finishes far off the mark but has better references on PSF, although could only finish 8th in a 1900m handicap on that surface at Deauville on 9 April. Outsider

Has regained momentum recently and confirmed as much/his competitiveness off this mark by finishing 4th in a 2000m handicap at Compiegne on 16 April. Keep safe

Veteran handicapper whose recent performances suggest she has gone off the boil. Finished a well-beaten 11th in a 1900m handicap at Argentan on 11 April

Won both starts last month with this headgear fitted - won a 1900m handicap at Argentan and a handicap over 1800m at Evreux on 24 April. Has to defy another 3kg penalty

Veteran handicapper who won an 1800m handicap at Compiegne in October off a 1,5kg higher mark. Lost her way since, unplaced in 4 starts - the latest (16th) in a 1900m PSF handicap at Chantilly on 26 April

Ultra-consistent veteran handicapper whose form and competitiveness at this level is beyond doubt. Runner-up in a 2800m handicap on this course recently (18 April)

Veteran handicapper whose 2200m handicap victory at Amiens in June last year was off of a mark 2,5kg higher than his current rating. Best watched after his 7th in a 2000m handicap at Compiegne on 16 April

Has regained momentum with three comeback outings this year. Finished 3rd in her latest start in a 1900m handicap at La Teste on 25 April

Inconsistent handicapper whose better recent displays have been achieved in conditions races at a lower level, the latest over 1600m at Cavaillon on 4 May. Outsider

Returned to form with an improved/encouraging last-start 2nd in a 2600m handicap at Marseille-Borely on 3 May. Marie Waldhauser's 1,5kg allowance will aid his cause

Confirmed the improvement of her previous outing (5th) off this mark with a reassuring 3rd in an 1800m handicap at Evreux on 24 April. Dark horse

Hard-knocking handicapper who rarely wins (just 1 victory from 46 outings) but has sound references and form credentials in this category, including an unlucky 5th over 1800m at Fontainebleau on 3 May. Respect

Veteran handicapper whose best references, including her only victory, have been achieved on PSF. Could only finish 8th in an 1800m handicap at Fontainebleau on 3 May

A 29-start maiden mare with little/poor references on turf. Can be ruled out after finishing 8th in a 2100m minor handicap at Mons on 26 April
